We’re wrapping up our Carnival Radiance adventure—and this time, we’re combining our final sea day AND our day in Ensenada into one fun-filled finale! Sometimes the best cruise days are the ones where you don't have much of a plan. We started with Carnival's Seaday Brunch, checked out the Diamond cocktail party, grabbed some Blue Iguana Cantina and Guy's Burger Joint, played trivia, watched comedy, and generally did what we do best… ate, relaxed, explored the ship, and had a good time. Then it was off to Ensenada, where we had a little ship spotting competition going on with Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas! We checked out the cruise port, searched for sea lions, watched the Quantum sail away, compared the two ships from the top deck of Carnival Radiance, and eventually headed back out to sea ourselves. Along the way, you'll also get our honest thoughts on the Seaday Brunch changes, a few Carnival food observations, a couple of helpful cruise tips, and one very important question: Were those actually jumping fish?! 😂 And then, just like that, we're back in Long Beach and ready for the next adventure. This was our final video in our Carnival Radiance series, and we hope you've enjoyed coming along with us! 🚢 **WATCH THE REST OF OUR CARNIVAL RADIANCE SERIES:** Check out our other Carnival Radiance videos for the full ship tour, our aft balcony cabin tour, embarkation day, and our Catalina Island adventure. 📱 Don't forget to download the FREE Lido Hoppers Cruise App for cruise tracking, packing lists, scavenger hunts, games, cruise countdowns, and much more! https://lidohoppers.com/app/ 👍 If you enjoyed the video, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and let us know in the comments: 📸 Follow us on Instagram: @LidoHoppers ☕ Support the channel: https://buymeacoffee.com/lidohoppers ✈️ We’re also travel advisors — reach out if you’d like help booking your next cruise adventure! https://lidohoppers.com/ 👗 Christina's Cruise Closet Love one of Christina's outfits in this video?
